I wrote this to the bug tracker of the classic shell, but I don't know who is responsible for that. Here my post:
See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3163068&group_id=290975&atid=1230788After a research and many tests I found the reason for the TC crash.
Ok, let me explain:
The TC-crash only appears by an long right click on an folder or by
pressing Alt+Return...
- but this only happens, if this click is the first long click in TC,
don't select any file before!
- and Adobe Acrobat X musst be installed.
True...
on an naked system without Adobe Acrobat X, I can install classic explorer
and TC without any crash on long right clicks.
on an naked system without classic shell, I can install Adobe Acrobat X
and TC without any crash on long right clicks.
Anyway.
Adobe installs right-click context menu items.
Right click in explorer on an folder shows 2 context items, on an file it
shows me only 1 adobe entry.
So, a workaround is to delete the adobe context entrys, by doing that:
delete the following folders:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Adobe.Acrobat.ContextMenu
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
delete the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell
Extensions\Approved\{D25B2CAB-8A9A-4517-A9B2-CB5F68A5A802}
After that I can use the installed Adobe Acrobat X, the complete classic
shell suite and the Total Commander, without any crashs by an long right
click on a folder in TC.
If you want to test, you can download the Acrobat X Trial here:

Wrong shell extension? Maybe. But is it adobe or the classic explorer. Or is it the TC?
Thanks for help.
